On 27th April was the official opening of an International Invitational Poster Exhibition on the World Graphic Design Day 2018 in Iran. It was an honour to be invited alongside many iconic designers such as Milton Glaser (USA), Niklaus Troxler (Switzerland), Andrew Lewis (Canada), Finn Nygaard (Denmark), Michal Batory (France) and many more.
A huge thanks to Hossein Mohammadi Vahidi for the kind invitation.

During the ceremony 20 posters were exhibited from many famous designers from all around the world such as Stephan Bundi, Mono Grinbaum, HOMEWORK, Slobodan Štetić, Mieczysław Wasilewski, and my fellow Ecuadorian Mario Fuentes.

‘Poster Power! Great Posters and How to Make Them’ is a new book by designer and illustrator Teresa Sdralevich published by Cicada Books that is the perfect book for anyone interested in the poster medium. Whether you are a student or a professional ‘Poster Power! Great Posters and How to Make Them’ offers many simple yet intelligent exercises that get you thinking visually and differently. These exercises are the secret to this book because it gets you to become an active participant in numerous activities that become a workshop.
From the beginning Teresa gets you creating posters which gives you a step by step process of how to make a great poster. The poster is such a wide form of visual communication and the book does a wonderful job by showcasing many important areas such as typography, composition, colour, framing, symbolism and many more. Humour is also a very important aspect which portrays the message that the author would like you to play and enjoy the poster creation process (from the initial steps of brain-storming to the final poster).
The book features many iconic posters from some of the best graphic designers from around the world such as Saul Bass (USA), Lex Drewinski (Poland, Niklaus Troxler (Switzerland), Milton Glaser (USA) and many more that is hugely inspirational while also explaining why these posters function in relation to various styles and concepts.
Finally at the end of the book it provides some fantastic material called the ‘Poster Power Kit’ which includes lettering, icons and illustrations that can be cut out and used to help you get started with your own poster master-piece.

It was an honor to collaborate with the design icon Niklaus Troxler for the Worldwide Graphic Designers – Cultural Heritage Poster Exhibition.
The project gathered 105 designers from 30 different countries. The remarkable result of their collaborations were 69 posters, dedicated to the cultural heritage of their countries. The aim of WGD was once again successful: People with a different origin, language, culture or gender, were inspired and created without physical contact, taking advantage of the opportunity that is given to them by modern technology.

Last week it was great to finally receive the Poster for Tomorrow 2017 book which featured my selected poster ‘Glide Location’.
This year the topic was Freedom of Movement and over 7000 posters were submitted from all around the world. In December the 100 selected posters began a world tour in more than 50 cities.
This is the 7th occasion that I have been selected for this prestigious international competition which is absolutely crazy for me to even to think about.
A huge thanks to David Jiménez for helping the book to arrive safely to Quito, Ecuador.
